    But according to Elon, he’s a “free speech absolutist” who will bring “actual freedom of speech” to social media.

    Yet another example of how every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Conservatives are dollar store versions of human beings.

    Under Musk’s leadership, X has become increasingly hostile toward nudity and explicit content. This week, X started flagging NSFW posts as “sensitive material,” as Rolling Stone reported, and restricting flagged accounts to limit their reach. Sex workers said their engagement tanked and their accounts no longer show up in X’s search, even if they weren’t notified about being flagged.

    Let sex workers be, you weird puritans.

      Hey dont insult the Puritans, they were generally egalitarian and anti-slavery, also John Brown came from a Scottish Puritan background. If you got the Puritans of old to interact with these modern fuckwads youd pribably need a hazmat team to clean up whatever was left.

    Porn and adult content was one of the hold outs on Xitter. If they’re going after that now, usage and users are going to tank again. If they keep this up, eventually the only thing that will be left on Xitter will be right wing assholes, white nationalist, and fascists.

        This is such a bizarre point. Why does anyone try to use existing services when they can just make their own. Go dig a well for water and build your own dam for hydroelectric power.

          So you, due to passing your purity test of being both on the right and against deplatforming are saying you now disagree with Musk’s interpretation of free speech and are now denouncing him due to his deplatforming of sex workers. Right?

            I really don’t care about either of them, I find it funny how the argument “free speech only applies to the government” goes flying out the window when somebody we like gets booted of a privately owned platform. And criticising certain parts of leftist rhetoric does not automatically make me a right winger

    Downvote Musk spam.

    The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the headlines every day. Don’t be a useful idiot.

      I wish I didn’t have to work so hard to avoid this sort of content every single day
